One of the areas of the game I look at when evaluating defensive play is puck management. When a player has the puck on his stick, what does he do with it? How successful is he with it? Is he leaning on skills that best suit his squad’s system or relying on the types of plays he’s most comfortable executing?
Factored in is just how often a player with puck possession is actually a danger to his team.
